branch

Many times it happens that I have few commits on my local Hg repository which I don't want to push and sometimes I want to remove the local branch altogether. But I cannot rollback more than one commit which leaves me no choice than creating a new clone and download the whole repository again. This feels stupid, since if I could just delete my local branch which has not affected the remote repository in anyway, then I wouldn't have to create and setup a new clone. So, is it how it is in Mercurial or is there some way to discard a local branch? Thanks! If you enable the mq extension (bundled

Can we switch between branches in TFS what i want is i downloaded a working copy and now I want to switch to different branch without downloading everything, because for large projects it will take lot of time since developers spend lot of time downloading Is it possible, if not any workaround ?? You can switch branches from the command-line client (only downloading the differences) by changing your workspace mappings and using the /remap flag to the get command: tf workfold /map $/Branch1 C:\Work tf get C:\Work /version:T /recursive tf workfold /unmap $/Branch1 tf workfold /map $/Branch2 C:

I have created a testing branch. It has a lot of tiny commits to build one feature. At the end of it, I want to take the final completed changes, and put them into the master branch. The master branch, shouldn't contain the history of the testing branch. Testing branch will be removed eventually. What is the best way to achieve this? Would generating a patch and applying it on master be the best way? If so, how do I generate/apply the patch? Various approaches are described in " Understanding the Git Workflow ": Short lived work The vast majority of the time, my cleanup is just a squash merge.

git branch -r #查看远程所有分支 git branch #查看本地所有分支 git branch -a #查看本地及远程的所有分支，如下图 git fetch #将某个远程主机的更新，全部取回本地： git branch -a #查看远程分支 git branch #查看本地分支： git checkout 分支 #切换分支： git push origin -d 分支名 #删除远程分支: git branch -d 分支名 #删除本地分支 git remote show origin #查看远程分支和本地分支的对应关系 git remote prune origin #删除远程已经删除过的分支 情景1：同步别人新增到远程的分支 1.git branch查看一下本地分支，再git branch -a查看一下远程分支，对比下，远程存在哪些本地没有的新分支. 2.将某个远程主机的更新，全部取回本地：git fetch 3.再次查看远程分支：git branch -a 发现远程的分支已经可以看见了 4.拉取远程分支到本地：git checkout -b 远程分支名 创建远程分支并切换到该分支， git pull origin (远程分支名称) 情景2：本地删除了分支，远程也想删除 2.1:本地想要删除某个分支，远程仓库的这个分支也要删掉怎么办？ a.使用git branch

UPDATE: example repository, https://github.com/so-gitdemo/so-gitdemorepo In the context of the github repo. How can I easily locate rev "b0430cee"? I know I can just look, but the real example that this repository mimics has a dozen committers and multiple other branches. Not quite as easy to use inspection. How can I find the branch creation revision when the branch has been merged multiple times? I am aware of this question: How to determine when a Git branch was created? The solution does not appear to work for a branch that has been merged multiple times. We typically merge bug fixes back

After creating a branch with --track (or leaving the default, or --notrack), you later wish to be reminded of what a branch is tracking. Is there a way, other than searching through the .git/config file, to display what a branch is tracking? Use: git branch -vv to see which branches are tracked and which are not. If you want to know for a given branch, you could do: git config --get branch.<branch>.remote If it prints a remote, it's tracking something. If it prints nothing and returns failure, it's not. Note that with git1.8.3 (April 22d, 2013) , you have a new way to emphasize the upstream

We have begun using the following branching structure in TFS 2010: All changes so far have been performed in the Development branch, and all check-ins have been associated with a Task work item. The Tasks are all children either of a Bug or a Product Backlog Item work item. Each CI build is triggered for a particular changeset, and the changeset is associated with a Task, so we can manually figure out which Bug or PBI was just built. Some time after the code has been built, deployed to our Integration environment and tested by the developer, it is merged to the Main branch. Obviously, more
